Why does every artist have to drop their album on the same day? For us listeners, it's a challenge to catch up with every new release, especially when it's several different releases from all really exciting artists. So to cut through the noise and make sure you have all of your ducks in a row, we're briefly rounding up the most important albums to listen to this week.

!!! (pronounced chk-chk-chk) just released their long-awaited album Shake The Shudder. It features singers Lea Lea, Meah Pace, Nicole Fayu, Cameron Mesirow, and Molly Schnick and is the follow up to their 2015 album As If. If you're into groovy dance music, this new album is for you. After all, "Dancing is the Best Revenge."

New Zealand artist Aldous Harding has been around for a little while now, but Party seems to be her rebirth. After signing to 4AD, she's gone from folk singer to something so much more. Listen to the standout tracks "Imagining My Man" or "Horizon." Read our feature, If You Don't Know Who Aldous Harding Is, Now You Do.

It seems fitting that Wavves is dropping a new album today, since it's approximately 90 degrees in New York right now. We're boiling over here, but their surf-tinged rock is helping us cool off with dreams of the ocean.

Finally, Misterwives is out with the follow up to their 2015 debut album Our Own House. The album has its emotional moments, but it also sounds like one giant party. You can't skip out on "Machine" or "Let The Light In."

NJ-based trio A R I Z O N A have been crawling under our radar for months and now they finally have an official debut to show. If you're into a good mix of pop, rock, and indie - and who isn't - then these guys are for you. Read our feature, A R I Z O N A Is a Band You Need To Know About.
